45 Computer Languages Compared: Which is FASTEST?

Episode 01: Retired Microsoft engineer Dave Plummer takes you on a guided tour of 45 different computer languages and drag races each against one another using a prime sieve benchmark. From Ada to Zig and everything in between, find out which is fastest and which is slowest. Languages tested in the series include ARM ASM, X86 ASM, Ada, BASIC, Bash, C, C , C#, D, Dart, Delphi, F#, Fortran, Go, Haskel, Java, Julia, Lisp, Lua, Node, Nim, OCaml, Octave, PHP, Pascal, Perl, Powershell, Python, R, Ruby, Rust, Scala, SQL, Swift, TypeScript, V, Zig, and more are being added! Each round, languages are tested in groups, such as C vs C vs Rust, Python vs BASIC, Ada vs Pascal vs Delphi, and so on. Thus you can expect 3-5 languages typical per episode in order to keep the length manageable while still spending 3-5 minutes looking at each language. If you are a great optimizer in ANY language, please consider contributing to our project! We could very much use specialized help with the ap
